Versatility As the printer's margins are getting smaller by the day due to the competition slashing their selling prices, we saw an opportunity to offer the graphic arts professional the ability to compete on six different high margin market segments in addition where they could expand their product offering to increase their bottom line: Papers,Plastics/Synthetics, Envelopes, Super Format Printing, Laser-safe Letterhead/Envelopes, and the Offset Overprinting & Personalization. |
Stunning print quality The Meteor DP8700 XL's stunning 3600 dpi/270 lpi print resolution pushes the boundaries of digital technology and allows you to produce brilliant prints of the highest quality. |
The widest range of substrates available It's simple. The more substrates you can print on = the more applications you can offer. The more applications you can offer, the more profits you can generate. This is especially true when looking at high margin markets your Meteor digital press can open up for your business, such as personalized plastic card production, point of sales materials, advertising/direct mail, static cling, vinyl sticker production, Identification bracelets, photobooks, envelopes, signage and much more... |
Super Format printing (1020 mm / 40 inches) A format once reserved solely for the offset world, the Meteor series can print sheets up to 1020mm (40") in length - the ONLY sheetfed production digital press with this capability. So if your customer wants a short run of gate-folded brochures with 8 4/4 A4/letter pages on one sheet, they no longer need to print a minimum quantity or pay setup costs for a 72 x 105 offset press. |
Envelope printing Envelope production can be an instant game changer for your business. Whether you are printing high quality 4C logos on stationary (supplementing an offset run), or printing variable data for direct mail applications, the Meteor series can bring in serious profits for your business. Go from the typical DL envelope all the way to the C4 envelope, with or without windows, all on demand. |
Precise registration MGI addressed this issue by integrating an automated offset feeder table, which provides the most precise registration in the market today (up to +/-0.2mm page to page registration). We even integrated a light table onto the Meteor series for crop mark registration verification, thus taking what was once perceived as the Achilles Heel of digital printing and turning it into one of our strengths. |
Standard offset media You’ve been challenged by the cost of the special “digital” papers you were being forced to use. Thanks to our IR pre-conditioning system and our intelligent fuser management, you can print digitally on the same substrates that you are currently printing with your offset press today, meaning no separate “digital” stock in your warehouse - resulting in significant savings in your paper budget. |
Laser-safe prints MGI's toners are oil-free and silicone-free, which means that they are also laser-safe - the only production digital press with this capability. Laser-safe prints won't smudge or ghost when run through any standard desktop laser printer- so your customers can enjoy full color letterhead and envelopes, even in the shortest runs. |
No click charge We listened when printers worldwide told us they thought that the click charges were unfair, and we agree 100%. We operate on a model that is similar to that of an offset press, allowing for tremendous production cost savings and no stressful monthly minimums or overage charges. You pay for what you print, it's that simple. |
Easy to use No rocket scientist required. |
Support Never be down without support again with MGI's technical support system. |
Backlit Displays (polycarbonate) Reverse printing on polycarbonate is ideal for many types of control panels and backlit displays. |
